Introduction to Discounting Introduction to Discounting Lecture 2 (03/30/2017) Outline • What is financial analysis? • Why is it important in forestry? • Basic discounting concepts – Present and future values – The interest rate – The single value formula • Examples Financial Analysis • Evaluates forest management alternatives based on profitability; • Evaluates the opportunity costs of alternatives; • Cash flows of costs and revenues; • The timing of payments is important. Why? Why is financial analysis important in forestry? • Forests are valuable financial assets: if foresters do not understand financial analysis, forests will be managed by those who do; • Financial analyses allow foresters to make financially sound forest management decisions; • Remember, however: the financial criterion is only one of the many decision factors in forestry! What is discounting? • A process that accounts for time preferences • Converts future values to present values Compounding Present Value Future Value A value expressed A value expressed in dollars received at in dollars received some future time Discounting immediately Definition of Discounting • The process of converting values expressed in dollars received at one point in time to an equivalent value expressed in dollars received at an earlier point in time • Compounding is the reverse process) FUTURE NOW The interest rate • Time preference: = human nature + potential investments • Money can make money over time • Corollary: using money costs money • The interest rate determines the relationship between present and future values Interest rate as a trade-off (the economy of Robinson Crusoe, Buongiorno & Gilles 2003) Amount next year (C1) B E2 E E* 1 0 A Present consumption (C0) Source: Buongiorno and Gilles 2003, p. 374 The interest rate •Also: the interest rate is the percentage of the amount invested or borrowed that is paid in interest after one unit of time V10 V iV 0 principal interest VV10(1 i ) The future value at a compound interest: 2 VV20(1 ii ) Vi0 (1 ) Vii0 (1 )(1 ) Vi0 (1 ) 2 2 2 3 VV30 (1 ii ) Vi0 (1 ) Vi0 (1 ) (1 i ) Vi0 (1 ) The Single Value Formula n Future Value: Vn V0 (1 i ) Growth of capital at various interest rates $16 s $14 14% Thousand $12 $10 12% $8 10% $6 8% $4 6% $2 4% 2% $0 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 Years Example: • If you put $100 into a bank account today at a 6.5% interest, how much will you have after 12 years? • Solution: n 12 VVn 0 (1 i ) V12 $100 (1 0.065) $212.91 VV Present Value Value:: V V V V(1)(1) i i nn tnn ttn0 n (1(1 i ) n Example: How much money do you need to invest today at an interest rate of 5% to get $5,000 in future dollars 10 years from now?

    CHAPTER 1 THE TIME VALUE OF MONEY 1. INTRODUCTION As individuals, we often face decisions that involve saving money for a future use, or borrowing money for current consumption. We then need to determine the amount we need to invest, if we are saving, or the cost of borrowing, if we are shopping for a loan. As investment analysts, much of our work also involves evaluating transactions with present and future cash flows. When we place a value on any security, for example, we are attempting to determine the worth of a stream of future cash flows. To carry out all the above tasks accurately, we must understand the mathematics of time value of money problems. Money has time value in that individuals value a given amount of money more highly the earlier it is received. Therefore, a smaller amount of money now may be equivalent in value to a larger amount received at a future date. The time value of money as a topic in investment mathematics deals with equivalence relationships between cash flows with different dates. Mastery of time value of money concepts and techniques is essential for investment analysts. The chapter is organized as follows: Section 2 introduces some terminology used through- out the chapter and supplies some economic intuition for the variables we will discuss. Section 3 tackles the problem of determining the worth at a future point in time of an amount invested today. Section 4 addresses the future worth of a series of cash flows. These two sections provide the tools for calculating the equivalent value at a future date of a single cash flow or series of cash flows.

  • Compound Interest
    Compound Interest Invest €500 that earns 10% interest each year for 3 years, where each interest payment is reinvested at the same rate: End of interest earned amount at end of period Year 1 50 550 = 500(1.1) Year 2 55 605 = 500(1.1)(1.1) Year 3 60.5 665.5 = 500(1.1)3 The interest earned grows, because the amount of money it is applied to grows with each payment of interest. We earn not only interest, but interest on the interest already paid. This is called compound interest. More generally, we invest the principal, P, at an interest rate r for a number of periods, n, and receive a final sum, S, at the end of the investment horizon. n S= P(1 + r) Example: A principal of €25000 is invested at 12% interest compounded annually. After how many years will it have exceeded €250000? n 10P= P( 1 + r) Compounding can take place several times in a year, e.g. quarterly, monthly, weekly, continuously. This does not mean that the quoted interest rate is paid out that number of times a year! Assume the €500 is invested for 3 years, at 10%, but now we compound quarterly: Quarter interest earned amount at end of quarter 1 12.5 512.5 2 12.8125 525.3125 3 13.1328 538.445 4 13.4611 551.91 Generally: nm ⎛ r ⎞ SP=⎜1 + ⎟ ⎝ m ⎠ where m is the amount of compounding per period n.

    USING A TEXAS INSTRUMENTS FINANCIAL CALCULATOR FV or PV Calculations: 1) Type in the present value (PV) or future value (FV) amount and then press the PV or FV button. 2) Type the interest rate as a percent (if the interest rate is 8% then type “8”) then press the interest rate (I/Y) button. If interest is compounded semi-annually, quarterly, etc., make sure to divide the interest rate by the number of periods. 3) Type the number of periods and then press the period (N) button. If interest is compounded semi-annually, quarterly, etc., make sure to multiply the years by the number of periods in one year. 4) Once those elements have been entered, press the compute (CPT) button and then the FV or PV button, depending on what you are calculating. If both present value and future value are known, they can be used to find the interest rate or number of periods. Enter all known information and press CPT and whichever value is desired. When entering both present value and future value, they must have opposite signs. Ordinary Annuity Calculations: 1) Press the 2nd button, then the FV button in order to clear out the TVM registers (CLR TVM). 2) Type the equal and consecutive payment amount and then press the payment (PMT) button. 3) Type the number of payments and then press the period (N) button. 4) Type the interest rate as a percent (if the interest rate is 8% then type “8”) then press the interest rate button (I/Y). 5) Press the compute (CPT) button and then either the present value (PV) or the future value (FV) button depending on what you want to calculate.

  • Time Value of Money Professor James P. Dow, Jr
    Notes: FIN 303 Fall 15, Part 4 - Time Value of Money Professor James P. Dow, Jr. Part 4 – Time Value of Money One of the primary roles of financial analysis is to determine the monetary value of an asset. In part, this value is determined by the income generated over the lifetime of the asset. This can make it difficult to compare the values of different assets since the monies might be paid at different times. Let’s start with a simple case. Would you rather have an asset that paid you $1,000 today, or one that paid you $1,000 a year from now? It turns out that money paid today is better than money paid in the future (we will see why in a moment). This idea is called the time value of money. The time value of money is at the center of a wide variety of financial calculations, particularly those involving value. What if you had the choice of $1,000 today or $1,100 a year from now? The second option pays you more (which is good) but it pays you in the future (which is bad). So, on net, is the second better or worse? In this section we will see how companies and investors make that comparison. Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Discounted cash flow analysis refers to making financial calculations and decisions by looking at the cash flow from an activity, while treating money in the future as being less valuable than money paid now. In essence, discounted cash flow analysis applies the principle of the time value of money to financial problems.

  • 2. Time Value of Money
    2. TIME VALUE OF MONEY Objectives: After reading this chapter, you should be able to 1. Understand the concept of compounding and discounting. 2. Calculate the present value, or the future value of a single payment, or a series of payments. 3. See the effect of monthly, daily, or continuous compounding, or discounting. 2.1 Video 02A, Single Payment Problems Suppose someone offers you to have $1000 today, or to receive it a year from now. You would certainly opt to receive the money right away. A dollar in hand today is worth more than a dollar you expect to receive a year from now. There are several reasons why this is so. First, you can invest the money and make it grow. For example, in July 2009, the rate of interest paid by leading banks for a one-year certificate of deposit was 2%. This means you can get the $1000 today, invest it, and earn $20 on it by next year. There is very little risk in this investment. Second, there is the risk of inflation that eats away the purchasing power of the dollar. The rate of inflation in USA has been rather low recently, less than 1%, but in some other countries, it has been much higher. Still you will need more than $1 next year to buy what one dollar can buy today. Third, there is an element of risk in this deal. If you receive the money today, you are sure to have it in your pocket. On the other hand, the person who is promising you the money may not be around next year, or he may change his mind.

  • 2. Time Value of Money
    2. TIME VALUE OF MONEY Objectives: After reading this chapter, you should be able to 1. Understand the concepts of time value of money, compounding, and discounting. 2. Calculate the present value and future value of various cash flows using proper mathematical formulas. 2.1 Single-Payment Problems If we have the option of receiving $100 today, or $100 a year from now, we will choose to get the money now. There are several reasons for our choice to get the money immediately. First, we can use the money and spend it on basic human needs such as food and shelter. If we already have enough money to survive, then we can use the $100 to buy clothes, books, or transportation. Second, we can invest the money that we receive today, and make it grow. The returns from investing in the stock market have been remarkable for the past several years. If we do not want to risk the money in stocks, we may buy riskless Treasury securities. Third, there is a threat of inflation. For the last several years, the rate of inflation has averaged around 3% per year. Although the rate of inflation has been quite low, there is a good possibility that a car selling for $15,000 today may cost $16,000 next year. Thus, the $100 we receive a year from now may not buy the same amount of goods and services that $100 can buy today. We can avoid this erosion of the purchasing power of the dollar due to inflation if we can receive the money today and spend it.

    114 Chapter 6 Mathematics of Finance We will look at the mathematics of finance. 6.1 Simple and Compound Interest We will look at two ways interest calculated on money. If principal (present value) amount P invested at interest rate r per year over time t, simple interest, I, is I = P rt and total accumulated amount, A, is A = P + I = P + P rt = P (1 + rt). If m is interest periods per year, and n = mt is total number of interest periods, total accumulated amount assuming compound interest is r mt A = P 1+ = P (1 + i)n. m If interest rate r compounded continuously, total accumulated amount after t years A = P ert where e =2.718... Exercise 6.1 (Simple and Compound Interest) 1. Simple Interest: A = P + P rt. (a) If $700 is invested at 11% simple interest, calculate its value after 8 years. A = P + P rt = 700+ 700(0.11)(8) = 1116 / 1216 / 1316 115 116 Chapter 6. Mathematics of Finance (LECTURE NOTES 7) (b) If $221 is invested at 15% simple interest, its value after 2.5 years is A = P + P rt = 221+ 221(0.15)(2.5) = 303.88 / 476.2 / 486.2 (c) If $5 is invested at 45% simple interest, its value after 13.1 years is A = P + P rt = 5+5(0.45)(13.1) = 34.48 / 47.34 / 86.22 mt r n 2.
